Zu Soul Superfly
I'm baaack! The Def 2s sound incredible and I'm instantly happy with my decision to return to Zu. I'm planning on plopping some nanotec drivers in there and marking my speaker search as complete for foreseeable future. 
Zu Soul Superfly
That's very encouraging. The wall distance will be critical for me as I'll just be clearing the 9.5 to 10 foot distance requirement.I don't know that I'll go to that extent, though nanotec drivers are on the immediate to do list. Followed by that ... 
Zu Soul Superfly
I couldn't compare it to the Omen, but I heard the nanotecs in a Superfly this past Saturday and it was pretty stunning. It was fed by a cherry amp which is an 'unusual' pairing for a 101db speaker at 700wpc, but it was a great match.The resulting... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
This thread may already be hopelessly derailed, but I just wanted to share that I took advantage of the Def 4 excitement to secure a steal on a pair of Definition 2s which I intend to upgrade with the nanotec drivers like Glory's pair.I don't expe... 
Zu Druid and Shindo?
That will be a fine pairing. I used a Shindo preamp in a rig with soul superbly speakers and 845 set amplification and it was really beautiful. 
Psvane 845-HIFI or Shuguang 845B?
Phils experiences mirror mine. I had an 845-T fail in a very short period of time. I also greatly preferred the export grade 845B to the 845-T. 
Incredible new USB DAC from GOTO Unit USA
Not affordable. It's not a commercial project and I demoed the prototype in a wooden project box, but I think it's going to be in the $8k range in 2013 or so. Way too rich for my blood, but I was contemplating the prototype for much less which, wh... 
Incredible new USB DAC from GOTO Unit USA
Advertisement??? The DAC isn't even available! I was just enthusiastic about a prototype I'd heard... it doesn't even have a name yet--Sheesh!It changed my perspective of digital and I wanted to share the experience. Take it or leave it, but don't... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Can anyone comment on the level of difficulty in setting up the Def 4 speakers? I was a Soul Superfly owner and lover and when positioned just right, they were pretty exceptional in my shared living room. As my needs for that room evolved (along w... 
Triode LABS C7 FIGURE 8 POWER-CORD
I wasn't a huge fan of Pete's original cables, feeling although they had excellent tone, they mute leading edge attack too much, but his new line is a whole other beast! I've got four of them in use in my rig right now and they've done great thins... 
Best Inexpensive Preamp for DENON 103?
I previously used a Jasmine with various 103 variants and it was a nice phono and the de facto recommendation for Denons, but a hundred or so out of your range... Lately I replaced the Jasmine with an older Monolithic PS-1 phono pre and am happier... 
upgrade suggestion please for Zu Omen def
+1 I didn't hear the I2A3, but the Melody integrates I've heard, including the awesome Melody MK88 I have now is all extremely Zu friendly, great sound (and looking stuff). The are also a steal on the used market! 
integrated for zu definition 3
If you do some digging for a demo Melody AN211, you could find one within a couple hundred dollars of your budget. I almost pulled the trigger on one yesterday and would have if I still had Zu speakers, but the 16watt rating scared me away for my ... 
Preamp help for First Watt F3
I only owned a rawson clone, but found the Shin do Aurieges to be a nice match for it, 
Your jaw dropping cables
Wywires v3 with standard xhadow plugs. Im sure its delicious with the bybee upgrade but the standard "silver" series is jaw dropping itself.
